The one thing that always pissed me off about this scenario is that our universe could be a Grand theft auto game played by a 13 year old.
This much I have to agree with. The question then is who or what is God, and where did God come from? Is anything truly infinite?

I believe we are souls having a human experience inside a 'dream' or simulation. We grow spiritually through the challenges we face and learn from the world around us and each other. I believe 'God' is the prime mover or architect.
I don't require a specific definition of God, however, I don't believe in an old man in the sky type of God. Whatever IT is IT is likely far beyond our comprehension at this level of consciousness.
Evidence of God is everywhere.
When speaking at this level your own words are hard to swallow. Everything is theory at this level, and in this lifetime it is impossible to definitively prove anything. Every theory leaves unanswered questions, that is why they are theories. The simulation theory is not at all unreasonable. A simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation etc is not too unreasonable at this point. If any of this is wrong, please offer proof that steers us in the right direction.

Um. You may be in a simulation, but I am not.
I don't see any indication at a quantum level that we are in a simulation. In fact, to be honest, I struggle to understand the intricacies of quantum mechanics (and all that).
The fantasy Sc-Fi film The Matrix and similar, have a lot to answer for.

This just in: Osama Bin Laden not directly responsible for 9/11 terrorist attacks; sources say a 13-year-old boy playing with our simulation somehow managed to gain access to restricted parts of the game's source code.
This also just in: quantum physicists are now informing us that this 13-year-old boy is actually what we've been referring to as 'God' this whole time.

How is it possible that we live within an extremely sophisticated simulation?
Do we live in a sophisticated simulation, and if we do, who created it?

The world is a simulation within your own mind..
Your brain builds the world around you into what YOU experience.. your reality of the world.
But we are still part of the whole, in the same way a drop of water is part of the ocean.
